Yoo In-young joins tvN’s Three Musketeers

Time to add a lady to The Three Musketeers, the Joseon-era action drama that has cast Lee Jin-wook (Nine) as Crown Prince Sohyeon, with Jung Yong-hwa (Mi-rae’s Choice) and Yang Dong-geunin the mix (and “considering positively”) to play two of the three warriors who protect him.

Joining the production is Yoo In-young, who, along with the rest of her You From Another Star castmates, is enjoying a nice bump in visibility in that drama’s wake. She followed Star with a turn in MBC’s sageuk Empress Ki, and in this drama will play Lee Jin-wook’s first love. However, for a reason the show hasn’t stated yet, in deciding to take up the path of revenge, she becomes his foe instead.

In addition to the third musketeer, there is reportedly one more female lead role left to be cast, which I’m going to guess is the main love interest. Yoo In-young is pretty good at conveying sass, so I do hope the leading lady will have some spark as well; it sounds like the producers are aiming to make this a rollicking high-budget blockbuster, and I want as many of the roles filled by charismatic, energetic actors as possible. Let the fun times roll.

The Three Musketeers is planning to produce three seasons, each with twelve episodes, and will begin filming later this month. It’s planning for an August broadcast.

UNREGISTERED

Since they are only casting three musketeers, the role of Athos is probably going to be the prince's. Then it would make sense for her to be Milady.
But then Crown Prince Sohyeon, is supposed to have been married, so what are they going to do with his wife the Crown Princess? Maybe she's going to be the leading lady? That would make her Anne of Austria and Lee Jin Wook playing a match-up of Athos and Louis XIII.
So confusing...

I find Yoon In Young somewhat lacking to play Milady, I was picturing the korean Milady as a younger version of Go Hyun Jung playing Mishil.
